Tamil Guardian caught up with the leader of the Tamil National Alliance, R Sampanthan, at the sidelines of the Global Tamil Forum's 3rd anniversary conference in London.

 

Asked for his opinion on South Africa's initiative to push for talks between the Tamils and the Sri Lankan government, R. Sampanthan said,

"South Africa is engaged in an initiative, and we have gone a visit to South Africa, and they have acquainted us with their experience and their knowledge, in regard to the resolution of their own conflict.

And we will perhaps pursue their initiative, not immediately, but after some time, and we have to await further developments to see how things go."

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.

Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
